I am currently living out of a teepee. It is decidedly the coolest place ever. It's a backpackers hostel but it's really just a house in a woody area in Nelson (suprisingly close to downtown) that has set up a teepee (Tipi? Well how do you spell teepee?) on a hill with 6 beds in it. I could stay forever.

They also have a pig, Lola (she's a bit of a showgirl), goat Milky, 2 sheep Millie & the other one, dogs, cat, birds and turtles. And it's cheap! There's no beating this place!

Today is a quiet day... enjoying the sunshine (16 degrees) on Rabbit Island (not a bunny to be found) and taking it slow. Some of us are nursing minor injuries received during an early morning session at the local playground...
